I just got back from Anaheim , Ca . From Viken Najarian work shop. Where Mr. Najarian just installed a Pickup in my Shehata oud.
Guys The best Oud maker and repair man ever seen is Viken...He does a great Job...I mean i am a very picky guy and his job is clean and great.
I am playing that oud now andd it sounds great, Don't be fooled by K&K pickups . Viken has one of the greatest pickups out there in the Market and
his prices are great .So do his LA BELLA strings for ARABIC OUDS...Viken gets his own La Bella oud strings made specially for him. I took Two sets
where it says Arabic Oud strings . But what i find out that the gage is deferent. People online sells you things that will work but the strings Viken
orders sounds deferent than the one you buy online. He picks his own Gages for Arabic Ouds and Turkish Ouds...
Well Thank you Viken for outstanding job , This is my second time i go to Viken. The first time he replaced my Picks and today he installed the
Pickup..Very great Job, I am very happy with his Job ..Thanks again and again ......God Bless you my friend.
